This is an event not to be missed!
The Haverhill Downtown Association has been working for more than 6 months to expand KidsFest in order to make it more fun for kids of all ages. Steady rain on May 4, made it necessary to postpone the event until May 18. In the event of rain again, KidsFest will be held in the Merrimack Street parking garage next to Pentucket Bank. The Laurie Chase KidsFest is made possible by generous support from Merrimack Valley Hospital, Trinity Ambulance, Pentucket Bank, Diversified Business Systems and Little Sprouts. The Haverhill Downtown Association, a committee of the Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce, will continue to lead the Merrimack Valley in providing safe, fun and educational events for our children.
